Gearing up for a very special run, Read Southall—frontman and namesake of Rural Rock and Roll standouts Southall—will embark on a solo acoustic headline tour this fall. The Read Southall Acoustic Tour 2025 will canvas Texas throughout December, visiting five cities in the Lone Star State. The jaunt kicks off on December 4 in Lubbock, TX, at Blue Light, rolls through various markets, and concludes on December 12 in Huntsville, TX, at Jolly Fox. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below.

Tickets go on sale at 10am local time this Friday, October 3 here.

The singer, songwriter, and guitarist will perform what promises to be an alternately intimate and invigorating set, stripping down Southall originals to the bare essentials, putting his spin on a handful of classics, and dropping a surprise or two into the mix.

Meanwhile, Southall will also headline Billy Bob’s Texas on February 6, 2026. It stands out as their first announced performance of the new year so far. Get tickets here.

This year, the band continues to rile up crowds coast-to-coast. You can catch them supporting Whiskey Myers, ZZ Top, The Black Crowes, and Ole 60, in addition to a slew of major festivals including Austin City Limits Music Festival, Peacemaker Festival, and more. For tickets and more information on Southall’s tour dates, visit here. 

Earlier this summer, Southall made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Taking part in this year’s historic OPRY 100 celebration, the band graced the biggest stage in Country music delivering a one-of-a-kind performance of “Scared Money” and “Why” to a packed house. Southall's debut even caught the attention of GRAMMY.com, who ranked the event as one of “three notable moments [that] occurred in June 2025 alone” for the Red Dirt genre. Making a splash on and off stage, the group was greeted with a career accomplishment backstage as well. Their undeniable hit, “Why,” reached PLATINUM status, further calling for a plaque celebration directly following their bucket list appearance.

Boasting nearly 700 MILLION career streams, Southall has spent the last decade building a rabid grassroots following. Winning over crowds while headlining across the country, they’ve also opened for Jamey Johnson, Chase Rice, and Blackberry Smoke. Currently in the studio, stay tuned for more from Southall.

ABOUT SOUTHALL:
Founding member Read Southall hails from Oklahoma and is joined in the six-piece group by Reid Barber, Jeremee Knipp, Braxton Curliss, John Tyler Perry, and Ryan Wellman. Southall's musical influences range from Country to Rock to Metal and everything in between, making for a wholly original sound that Rolling Stone described as “infuse[ing] rock and metal into the band’s coffee shop vibe.” The guitar-driven band never loses focus on meaningful lyrics, penning tunes that speak to every aspect of life and help drive a Rock and Roll experience for their audience, whether they're listening at home or at a packed show. The act throws gas on the fire beneath their fast-rising career with their last release, Southall – the raw and explosive self-titled album released via Smoklahoma Records. Southall's 2021’s For the Birds features the epic six-minute long single "Where We Belong" and “impressive standout” (Raised Rowdy) “Rose Gold” and follows their 2017 album Borrowed Time, which includes their RIAA PLATINUM-certified single "Why." Full of ‘70s Soul, Country-inspired lyricism, and Rock and Roll heart, their music draws packed crowds and evokes old-school Country and early Grunge all at once. Celebrating a decade of Southall, the band is currently out on their headlining 10 YEARS OF SIX STRING SORROW TOUR. Boasting nearly 700 MILLION career streams, Southall are currently in the studio with new music promised soon.
